Belonging to the Elasmosauridae family, its name combines Zarafa (“giraffe”) and Saurus (“lizard”), with the species name meaning “daughter of the sea.” First described in 2011 by Dr. Peggy Vincent from fossils found in Morocco, Zarafasaura grew up to 23 feet (7 meters) long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1036\" data-start=\"673\"\u003ePart of the Plesiosauria family, which existed from 228–61.6 million years ago, it shared lineage with Plesiosaurus. Fossils of 938 specimens highlight their diversity, while many artistic depictions are influenced by Loch Ness Monster myths.

These cracks are natural features and are not viewed as flaws. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SAID 26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52022129754392,"sku":"06ALL548","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1250\/0441\/files\/5U8A8139_5f3e91ab-0fe2-43aa-a2a1-c350b72f0abb.jpg?v=1777755266","url":"https:\/\/www.fossilageminerals.com\/products\/xl-2-1-plesiosaur-zarafasaura-tooth-fossil-cretaceous-dinosaur-era-coa-stand-06all548","provider":"Fossil Age Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
